OnePlus 5 review

The OnePlus 5 is powered by a Snapdragon 835 and its set of Kryo cores that all top models have this season. Few of them boast 8 gigs of RAM though, which the OnePlus 5 does proudly offer. That crazy amount of RAM is matched by 128GB of storage in the more premium OnePlus 5 version. The other packs a more pedestrian 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The OnePlus 5 is equipped with a 16MP primary camera with a normal field of view in smartphone terms (more like a general 'wide' in traditional photography) and a 20MP tele shooter ('normal' in that other sense). read more →

OnePlus 5 review

The OnePlus 5 goes a step further and offers bone crushing hardware features that would be the envy of any phone. The display on the phone is nice enough, and features like the DCI-P3 colour gamut were surprising and handy additions. It also has a PayTM integration in India, where one can long press the home-button as a shortcut for the PayTM QR scanner for mobile payments.

The battery on the device is quite impressive as it lasts more than a day consistently with heavy duty use. read more →
